How Many Neutrons Does Germanium(Ge)  Have?

Answer:

Germanium(Ge) has 41 neutrons  for this isotope.

Explanation:

Hello, chemistry lover! today we are going to help you to find out  how many neutrons germanium(Ge)    have in just 3 steps.





To find out the number of neutrons  for  germanium(Ge),we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass,mass number of  germanium(Ge)
.Click picture to see clearly.



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of 
 germanium(Ge) is the number of protons in  germanium(Ge)'s nucleus.



●The atomic mass of 
 germanium(Ge) is the average number of  protons plus neutrons of all the isotopes of  germanium(Ge).


●The masss number of 
 germanium(Ge) is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of  germanium(Ge).

                    Step-2:

We need to convert atomic mass of 
 germanium(Ge) to mass number of   germanium(Ge) by rounding if necessary (In case of fraction) .





From periodic table,


  ●Atomic number of 
 germanium(Ge)  is 32.

●Atomic mass of  
 germanium(Ge) is 72.59

●To find out mass number,we need to round 72
.59 to a whole number.So,by rounding,we are getting mass number  of  germanium(Ge).The mass number of  germanium(Ge) is 73
.




                    Step-3:

How Many Neutrons Does germanium(Ge) Have?

By the difference between mass number and atomic number of 
germanium(Ge),we get the number of neutrons in germanium(Ge).


●Number of neutrons=73-32=41

In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,73 =32 +Neutrons

Or,73-32=Neutrons

Therefore,
Neutrons=41




Therefore,the number of neutrons in 
germanium(Ge) is 41 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of germanium(Ge) and it's charge is zero.

●Number of protons in 
germanium(Ge) is 32.Protons are present in the nucleus of germanium(Ge).



● Number of electrons in 
germanium(Ge) is 32.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of germanium(Ge).
